Anecdo.s of Horace Greeiey.

The New York Tribune referred the
other day 10 the small vote by which
Myron Il. Clark was elected governor
in 1854. The allusion reminds me OF
an unpublished incident which occurred
in the Tribune Office during the sus-
pense of getting returns Of that so long
doubted election. Greeley Was a care
full political statistician. and nothing
disgusted and enraged him more than
an error in figures. He had received
retuTrs from certain western towns, and
had partially tabulated them, when he
glanced at the FIVE O'Clock edition OF
The Erpress, then = Wing paper, and
saw that evidently the same figures had
been forwarded to that journal. So he
ceased his own work snd clipped cut
the Express table as published and sent
II to the composing-roon. Next morn
inc, on looking over the Tribune, Mr.
Greeley saw that there was an import
ant error in the returns. He forgot
that he had clipped the table from the
Express. In 4 great rage he went into
the composing-room snd wanted to
know who the - had set up that
matter. Tom Rocker examined the
proofs and found that part Of it was
set BY old Major Moulton, and the rest
bv James Bayard, who had been in the
Office more than dozen years. He
charged on Bayard's tripod:
Jim, 1 thought you'd been here long
enough to know something. Look at
that"
s.W hats the matter with it?"
"MatterI Why, great Scott RS all
wrongr' (Only Mr.. Greeley was never
known to say great Scott.)
(which part?" asked Bayard.
s.First take'-right there. Sea?"
"Mr. Greeley. didn't do that"
You lici Who did?' was the ab~
surdly impatient response OF Mr.. Gree
ley.
Bayard said he believed Major Moul-
son set up the next take" Mr. Cree
lev at once assaulted the culprit: Ma
jor, you've been q printer over forty
wears, and ought TO know something
about typc-setting. Here you've made
blanked fool of yourself and me!'
The major examined the paper, bluShed
and said he was sure he had followed
copy. 49,,

nfrnicked the employer, argrily.
That's what you always say when you
make a blunder. Well see! Come in
to the proof-room. There's b!ankety,

somewhere that ought TO be kicked from
here to Sing-S.ng. III see. now,
whethcr it's you or Clark!
Clark, the proof-rcader. brought oui
the copy, and the moment Mr, Greeley
.ye fell on the reprint cut from the III.

Teachers in Georgia.

In 81 middle Georgia county. not a
hundred years ago, several applicants
for positions as teachers of public
schools were undergoing an examina-
ton before the Board of Education. One
young man appeared 10 be unusually
well Informed. He answered all sorts
Of questions IN geography and arithme-
tic, and the members of the board be-
gan to think they had discovered q
treasure. The Chairman of the board
examined the young man in English
grammar. Nouns, articles, adjectives
were safely passed. and then the Chair
man asked: What is pronoun?"
Never beard of it. replied the young
man. Never heard of pronoun?"
mo, never did" That's strange"
Cant help il; 1 neyer heard of pro-
noun, and I don't believe you ever did
either" '.Do you mean TO tell me that
you didn't find ANYTHING about pro-
nouns in your grammar" NO. l didn't
find anything about pronouns in my
grammar" The Chairman took the
book and examined it. The pages re-
lating to pronouns had been torn out
.-Humph!' be calculated, gazing at the
young man in dazed sort of way,
.-such a monumental fool rs you can
never tc@eh public school in this
county" And yet there were fools just
as monumental then teaching in that
very county. Hore ere some incidents

mixed school III Southwest Georgia
county were asked the question. Who
j. Alexander H. Stephens and where
does he livc?' Out Of $50 that heard
the question but one attempted to an
swer. One young man said be thought
Alexander 4 Stephens was the Cover
nor of Washington City. Yet that
school had for more than ten years been
presided over by teachers regarded as
among the best in the State. in the
preparatory department of a leading
Georgis collage The question was once
asked. "Wha is meant by the Alabama
claip,s?" Not one of the students could
answer. although several of them were
grown nAn. and al least five OF them were
studying for the ministry. Some time
ago young man bearing the highest
testimonials from his teachers applied
for admission into the junior class Of o
Georgia college. In the course of his
preliminary examination he was asked,

About Orchids.

The cultivation of orchids, or air
plants rs they arc sometimes called. Is
a fascinating occupation to persons OF
wealth who can afford the expense.
Only the tropical forms are sought,
since these IS rule have the most
curious forms OF leaf and beauty CT
bloom. FOR the reason that they can
only with difficulty be propagated from
seed. Orchids are costly, the finest
being found near the tops OF trees III
the tropics. The loss in transit is large.
1t is estimated that there are 1000
species in existence and about 2,Ooo are
or have been in cultivation.
Mr.. Z. / Baird, in a paper on orchids,
read before the Massachusetts Horti-
cultural Society March 6. gives some
valuable information in relation to the
cultivation and care Of these pets of the
wealthy citizen. The following is the
gist of his remarks:
The great obstacles to the successful
growth of orchids are, first. the lack OF
proper and constant atmospheric moist
ure during The season of active growth;
second, the want of constant supply
of fresh mir during growth, and partlcu-
larly during the resting period, from
November to April; third, the lack OF
cleanliness; and fourth. over-shading
the houses during growth, as well as
during the resting period.
Our climate is naturally dry and arid
compared with that Of En- gland. whence
We have had most the rules for orchid
culture The most successful grower.
however, does not hesitate nov TO leave
open both top and bottom sentilators OF
the orchid house during the season of
growth and when the outside tempera-
lure ranges above 55o except when
,tcre mar occur rapid fall CT tempera-
t,,re of the outside air. Thousands OF
..cool'' orchids from the high mountains
of South America have been destroyed
in this country by the application OF too
much heat. Many OF them come from
attitudes 10000 or 12,000 feet above the
sea level.
The plants should be kept clean Of
thrip and green lily By mild fumigatioa.
but plenty Of fresh air is the best pro-
lection against them. White scale does
more injury than IS credited to it.
Nothing but careful sponging and
brushing with soapsuds or insecticide
will eradicate it. Every orchid should
be sronged with clean water two or
three times = year, so that no dust or
dirt shall accumulate upon it.
The cultivation of orchids in and
near Chicago has OF late years attracted
much attention. The park conserva-
tories contain good number OF speci-
mems, that of Lincoln Park being
probably the largest. Perhaps the first
extensive collection was that of James
Cochran, Esq. st Blue Island (bus now
a resident of New York;. who erected
large houses. which were filled with rare
orchids obtained from original COL
lectors. His health failing, the collect
ion passed by gift into the hands of bis
friend, Mr.. James Grow, of Crystal
Lake. Later other collections Were
made, and there are now q number OF
fine collections in private hands, besides
those grown by florists and greenhouse
men. The cultivation once established.
its continuance becomes a passion.

Paris Courterfeitcrs.

A correspondent of the New Orleans
Hcdyune writes: Counterfeit and de-
preciated coins are very common Just
now in Paris. Every day we read of
the arrest of manufacturers and .tshov-
ers" of the queer" and the courts deal
with them very severely: but the ex-
ample does not appear to exercise any
deterring influence on other evil-doers.
Ono and two franc pieces of lead, 80
clumsily initiated that you wonder how
any one can be taken in bv them, are
constantly being offered in change at
cafes and restaurants. 1t is an abso-
lute,y necessary precaution to examine
every coin received at such places, not
only to avoid countcrfcits but also to
prevent the garcons from passing off on
you Peruvian land Chilian dollars.
which are exactly the same weight and
Size as franc pieces. but not being
legal tender, are worth 10 to 20 cents
less. How this South American money
has found its way into Franco is
something can not explain. but there
certainly is a great deal of it floating
around and. sure of being able to pass
them on others, the walters at many of
the large cafes on the boaleyards make
no difficulty about accepting them. But
At is NOT only at such places that you are
likely TO get taken in with these South
American dollars. Only the other day,
when was going over to London, l
paid for nv ticket at the railroad depot
with bank note and then, holding my
change in my hand, 1 went into the
to get my baggage reg
istered. Ny trunk was a tritie over
weight and in payment of the excess l
handed the baggage master one of the
coins had just received at the ticket
office, but it was pushed back to me
amining it l found that it was Peru
Wan dollar. As 1 had no time TO 60
back to the ticket office put the piece
in nly pocket and went TO the train.
Since my return have learned that the
railway companies make a regular
practice of sending all the bad or I'M
current coins they receive in the course
of their business to their ticket Offices
and, as the travelling public is usually
in too much of a hurry to examine its
change. these coins are easily got rid of.
1t is quite as bad at the postoiiice. where
1t is The rule 10 pay from one-half to
two-thirds of all money orders in silver,
and the chances are that if you have to
collect an order OF any amount you will
find one or more deprecated coins in
the stack OF 5-franc pieces piled up in
front of you. If you express your sur
prise at such a proceeding the clerk
will reply that the department is SO
often cheated by the public that j. feels
itself at liberty to do a little cheating in
its own turn.
